RIVERSIDE: College district extends chancellor search

Riverside Community College District has 25 applicants for the chancellorâs position but is still seeking more, search committee chairman and Trustee Nathan Miller said.

He said the committee would like to find a new chancellor from within California, perhaps a leader in another industry outside academia. The district includes Riverside City, Moreno Valley and Norco colleges. Miller said trustees want someone familiar with Californiaâs higher education structure and regulations, in which most funds comes from the state, and someone willing to stay more than a few years.

Interim Chancellor Cynthia Azari does not want the permanent job and would like to return to her role as Riverside City College president.

The original Jan. 15 deadline does not close the window for qualified applicants, Miller said. Preliminary interviews are March 7.
